An End Rod is a decorative light source that emits white particles.

Obtaining

End rods can be obtained by any tool or block. They will also be broken if run over by flowing water.

Crafting

Ingredients Crafting recipe
Blaze Rod +
Popped Chorus Fruit

4

Natural generation

End rods generate naturally all over end cities. They may spawn upright on the outside of towers, and they may spawn sideways inside of towers.

Usage

EndRodPositions

End rods in various positions on purpur blocks.

End rods are primarily used as light sources and decoration. They can be placed on any surface of any block, including other End rods. They will not break if their supporting block is broken. Gravity-affected blocks like sand or gravel will not break if they fall onto an End rod, since they are treated as solid blocks. As such, they can be pushed and pulled by pistons.

Inside some end city towers, they are positioned so the player may use them to climb the tower.

Light

End rods emit a light level of 14 (same as torches), and will melt snow layers and ice within a 2-block radius.

A '''potato''' is a [[food]] [[item]] obtained from potato crops that can be used to plant them, consumed raw or [[cook]]ed to make [[baked potato]]es.

'''Potato crops''' are planted in [[farmland]] and used to grow potatoes and, rarely, [[Poisonous Potato|poisonous potatoes]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===
[[Village]] farm plots have a chance of being planted with potatoes. The exact chance depends on the style of the village:

{| class="wikitable"
! Village style !! Chance
|-
| {{EnvSprite|snowy-village}} Snowy || 70%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|plains-village}} Plains || 15%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|taiga-village}} Taiga || 10%
|}

Fully grown potato crops drop 2 to 5 potatoes ({{frac|3|5|7}} per crop harvested on average) and have a 2% chance of dropping an additional [[poisonous potato]]. Potato yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]], with Fortune III harvesting an average of {{frac|5|3|7}} potatoes. [[Bone meal]] can be used to mature the potato to its last stage of growth.

The first two potatoes always drop, and then three more attempts are made to drop a potato with a success rate of 57.14286% to yield the extra 0–3 drops. Each level of Fortune enchantment increases the number of attempts by one.

=== Mob loot ===
[[Zombie]]s, [[husk]]s, and [[zombie villager]]s have a 2.5% ({{frac|1|40}}) chance of dropping either an [[iron ingot]], [[carrot]], or potato when killed by a player or tamed wolf. This is increased by 1% ({{frac|1|100}}) per level of looting. This gives potatoes the following chances of dropping:
* {{frac|1|120}} (about 0.83%)
* {{frac|7|600}} (about 1.17%) with Looting I
* {{frac|9|600}} (1.50%) with Looting II
* {{frac|11|600}} (about 1.83%) with Looting III
If a zombie, husk, or zombie villager is killed with fire, it drops a baked potato instead.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|potato}}

== Usage ==

=== Farming ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming}}
When farmed, potatoes require 8 [[Block tick|stages]] to grow. However, there are four ''visible'' stages due to having only four distinct textures: every two stages have the same texture, except that growth stage 7 keeps the same appearance as stages 5–6, so that only stage 8 has the final, mature appearance. Planted potatoes require a light level of 9 or greater to continue growing. If the light level is 7 or below, the crops instantly un-plant themselves ("pop off"). It is not possible to plant potatoes if the light level is too low.

Crops grow faster if the farmland they are planted in is [[Farmland#Hydration|hydrated]]. Using [[bone meal]] on crops also increases the speed of growth by randomly increasing their growth stage by 2 to 5.

Crops break if pushed by a [[piston]] or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.

=== Food ===
To eat a potato, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the [[hotbar]]. Eating a potato restores {{hunger|1}} hunger and 0.6 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Breeding ===
[[Pig]]s follow and can be [[bred]] by a player holding a potato.

[[Villager]]s can pick up potato items to become willing, which allow them to breed. Villagers require 12 potatoes to become willing.

=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{Smelting
|showname=1
|Potato
|Baked Potato
|0.35
}}

=== Trading ===
Novice-level farmer villagers have a 25%{{only|bedrock}} or 40%{{only|java}} chance to buy 26 potatoes for an [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

=== Composting ===
Placing a potato into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. This is less efficient than composting with [[Baked Potato|baked potatoes]], which has a higher success chance of 85%.
